    My "Tanked" Tank

    The tv show is silly but I do like the tanks they build. I would love that telephone booth tank, it's so Planet of the Apes. Anyway, I could never afford anything that fancy but I certainly got as close as I can. I just completed a deal for this fantastic L shaped tank. It is 8 feet long at...
